Churchill Downs Race 2 - Race 2 - Allowance Optional Claiming
JUSTIFIABLE BELLE (4) First up and ran home into 2nd beaten by 1L first up last preparation at Kentucky Downs. Should muster plenty of early toe. Ideal trip as proven previously. Serious contender. LUCKY SPEECH (3) Fresh after a break of 27 weeks. Gave away some ground when 8th last run at Keeneland. Should improve. Has plenty of early speed. Jose Ortiz is an advantage. Good prospects. NO MO CANDY (7) First run back from break. Displayed a good turn of foot when winning last run at Aqueduct and good career start. Big danger. MISSION OF JOY (5) Back after a 29 week break. Came in 6th last run at Woodbine. Is capable of a resurgence and hard to fault at this distance. Looks set to run a place.
